RE: OT - Vaccines

Mercury is a component of thimerosal which was used to preserve vaccines. The
vaccines being manufactured today in the U.S. do not have thimerosal except for DTAP.
It seemed someone noticed we were injecting our children with more Mercury then the
EPA allows; thus the move to get the Mercury out. However, it was decided to allow
the stocks of vaccines with thimerosal to be used rather than discarded.

They used to give Hep-B at birth. This was ridiculous, vaccinating a new born against
a disease primarily passed via sexual contact. The reason for doing so was to protect
the child from acquiring the virus during birth. They did not test the mother nor
mandate it only for mothers most likely to have it. That policy has now changed

The most famous autism linkage and vaccinations was with the MMR vaccines. Population
studies, however, show no such correlation. MMR was never preserved with thimerosal

I have heard of, but have not seen a study indicating a weak one between vaccines
with Mercury and autism. Dr. Amy Holmes, a pediatrician in good standing with the
Louisiana Medical Board, is claiming fantastic results from chelating Mercury from
autistic kids, the younger the better. I am keenly interested, but many such
miracles have been claimed before; secretin is the most famous example.

The most prevalent theory is autism is caused by lesions in the amygdular region
and/or the hippocampus due to multigenic defects. They have caused such injuries to
monkey's brains and they do indeed become autistic. If the lesions are bad enough
they become autistic and mentally retarded; about 75% of autistic children show some
degree of mental retardation. However, it is possible autism has sundry causes;
perhaps, Dr. Holmes is on to something.

This second site also gives alot of other facts to help out on the issue.

It's probably NOT "state law", but "mandated" by
the State Health Office, an unelected, non-academic
bureau w/in State Govt.

Of course, if you can provide the law (code and section)
from the Commonwealth Law that shows this, I'll eat
my words (virtually, of course!)

:-)

something like 40 states allow for religious exemptions,
another 15 allow exemptions on philosophical grounds.

That, plus the AAPS' recommendation is enough for me
to question any self-appointed Godlike correctness on the
part of the State Health Office.
